Handling name value pairs in a web service

[I R BABOON]

0. Assume an application can send data using HTTP POST.

1. For some reason, it sends the name value pairs using the syntax x.y --
which is perfectly acceptable in HTML forms.

2. Now I want to write a web method to accept values from this
application.

3. But a c# web method will throw an error if I try to define a web method
such as

myMethods ( string x.y ) { ... }

because x.y cannot be a parameter name.

4. What do I do ?

use proper syntax.
myMethod (string x) { }
and parse for x and y .

ps: John, please don't cross-post.

what do you mean?

I am describing a problem situation,
I know that ( string x.y ) is not proper
syntax.

that is why I posted the query.

the lack of expertise and understanding
on these dotnet boards clearly means
that dotnet is not being used by professional
programmers. i give up !
